Debian DSA-5531-1 : roundcube - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 183687

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5531 advisory.

 It was discovered that roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers, did not properly sanitize HTML messages. This would allow an attacker to load arbitrary JavaScript code. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.15+dfsg.1-1~deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.4+dfsg-1~deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages. For the detailed security status of roundcube please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/roundcube

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the roundcube packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.4+dfsg-1~deb12u1.
